Natasha,
Congratulations! Make the most and be the best you can where you go. That is what counts the most.
Drew Congratulations, Natasha. Case is known as a great place to study music, and you beat some very tough odds to get accepted. The financial support and the sophomore entrance level are great, too. You can be proud of all the hard work you've done, which has paid off so well. I'm very, very happy for you. Yay! Case is an excellent school, and you should still be able to take advantage of its relationship with CIM. Hopefully, more of those scholarships will come through and help reduce your debt load. Congratulations. It looks like things worked out for you. That is excellent. You could study privately with someone at CIM, so case could be a good options.

I saw a segment on the news about this year being the most difficult for undergrad and graduate admissions in history. They said the lowest acceptance rate this year was Harvard and MIT at around 6%... unbelievable.

University of Texas and Northwestern are two very competitive schools, so there is no shame in not succeeding the first time. Ironically, those are two of the schools I am considering most seriously. I have to let them know if I accept their offers by next week. Very stressful. Just remember that you could always transfer if Case isn't to your liking, so you are still in a good position.

Congratulations! As stressful as this has been, your plan B sounds really exciting, especially since you can get credits for other courses, which will help facilitate your double major. This was a really awful year for college admissions (I've read that it's going to peak next year) because of a baby boomlet.
